A swirly tree walk in a large garden on Oxfordshire. This design is simple but looks great throughout the seasons. Children love to run around the mown paths as do the owners dogs! Winter flowering cherry trees are used for seasonal interest & structurally it looks great year round. Into the spring the longer grass is filled with pretty spring bulbs

Magic Garden Dreams

Imagine stepping outside your home to your very own backyard oasis, complete with a stunning ecosystem pond. You get to sit back, relax, feed the fish and enjoy the sound of running water. It is a personal vacation spot for the entire family and a reason for you to spend more time outdoors. Our ponds are made from only the top of the line pond products that create 100% all natural ecosystems. We install Aquascape ponds that are self-sustaining and require very little to no maintenance, providing an opportunity to have fish and interesting new varieties of plants. Bird lovers will be delighted in the new variety of beautiful feathered friends that your pond will attract. And of course you can create your own aquatic family of fish, koi, water lilies, pond plants and all the other enchanting creatures that flourish and thrive in their new home.

New Build Frontage Makeover

Zones Landscaping Whangarei Jason Clarke

The brief for this small suburban makeover was for hardy low maintenance, flowering perennials that would suit a garden frontage. We worked closely with our clients to select the varieties they preferred that would suit the site and keep within budget. The gardens were mulched with riverstones in varying sizes to give a natural finish.

Xerojardinería

Natura Paisajismo Urbano

Dentro de la jardinería de nuestro territorio, el Jardín Mediterráneo es sin duda el estilo más adecuado ecológica y edafoclimáticamente hablando. Tal es su idoneidad, que asentó las bases para otras variantes, como por ejemplo la contundente Xerojardinería californiana: este nuevo concepto de jardinería se caracteriza por hacer un uso eficiente del agua, pues tiene origen en un movimiento social de concienciación e investigación en los Estados Unidos como consecuencia de una grave sequía que asoló California en 1977. Aunque cada estilo tiene una filosofía independiente, comparten ideología y normas básicas cuando indagas en profundidad. Los principios básicos de la Xerojardinería pueden recogerse en siete apartados fundamentales: planificación y diseño adecuados (haciendo hincapié en la definición de hidrozonas y de un mínimo de áreas sombreadas), sustrato adecuado, correcta selección de plantas, practicidad en las zonas de césped, sistemas eficientes de riego, uso de mulching y mantenimiento adecuado. A parte, las características diferenciadoras del Jardín Mediterráneo, es decir, sus fundamentos, quedan definidos por siete bloques: nivelación estricta del terreno, plantación bajo el nivel del suelo, creación de grandes zonas de sombra, empleo del arbusto, utilización de plantas autóctonas y naturalizadas, tratamiento del agua y diferenciación entre el jardín y el medio exterior. Habitualmente se tiene la concepción de que estas tipologías de jardines no tienen tanta presencia estética comparados con el estilo paisajista inglés, lo que no hace más que evidenciar una grave carencia en cuanto a cultura botánica de los países mediterráneos, puesto que contamos con la mayor biodiversidad vegetal de toda Europa aún por explotar. Debemos aprender a disfrutar de los cambios estacionales de nuestras praderas e interiorizar que un uso restrictivo del agua no implica renunciar al color o las texturas y reconocer nuestros verdes.

Garden Design Ideas with River Rock for Spring

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
